\"DSC_0292aa.jpg\"Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful, memorable celebration last night…whether you went out or stayed in…I hope it was it was happy.<\/p>\n

I thought, since I am coming up on the one year anniversary of my move to Saratoga and since it is New Year’s Day, that I would share some of my favorite photos from around the area over the past 12 months. <\/div>\n

I will post them chronologically as the year progressed. This is only a tiny portion of all the pictures I have taken but, for one reason or another, these have become my favorites. We live in such a beautiful, historic, exciting area and there was always something that could be photographed and added to my albums. Again, these are just some of my favorites.<\/p>\n

An early Saturday morning in late March when I was out for a jog downtown:<\/div>\n
\"906136_10203600148308303_847228204025116530_o.jpg\"<\/div>\n
This was in April when the weather was finally beginning to get a little bit nicer, and I spent the morning at the State Park:<\/div>\n
\"10013299_10203560959328603_1853218591_n.jpg\"<\/div>\n
Finally, it got warm out!! This was on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon at the Avenue of the Pines when I was out walking my dog. I remember this day as being filled with people, baby strollers, joggers, dogs, and frisbees. Seriously, look at that sky…it was beautiful.<\/div>\n
\"10156159_10203704102187085_8919073260746561638_n.jpg\"<\/div>\n
One morning, early in the summer, after a night of rain, I left for work and took this shot right outside my front door:<\/div>\n
\"10471200_10204065513542143_7475191486037729575_n.jpg\"<\/div>\n
The view from a rooftop downtown where I had the absolute pleasure to be working one sunny afternoon:<\/div>\n
\"10484277_10204149375718645_766521011271041106_n.jpg\"<\/div>\n
Track time!! I spent many mornings this year watching the horses work out, taking photos, and meeting so many interesting people!<\/div>\n
\"10544328_10204421914451943_7161757019447414419_n.jpg\"<\/div>\n
When I was not at the track, I was at Yaddo, enjoying the peace and beauty as I started my day.<\/div>\n
\"10419475_10204012629660079_7194911960542761296_n.jpg\"<\/div>\n
And here’s another Yaddo shot…this is actually one of my very favorite photos of the year:<\/div>\n
\"10464266_10204255663095763_176784220803012495_n.jpg\"<\/div>\n
And, of course, I have about a zillion photos of the thoroughbreds.<\/div>\n
\"10402009_10204428669740821_6180807984097465125_n.jpg\"<\/div>\n
I helped out with Camp Abilities Saratoga (a sports camp for children with visual impairments) at Skidmore College in August. On the night of their big picnic at the State Park, I got this great shot of the moon as I was headed to my car.<\/div>\n
\"10167921_10204468329812298_94247857490320252_n.jpg\"<\/div>\n
As the summer wound down and the days got considerably shorter, I met a friend on a very chilly morning at Ballston Lake where we waited for the sun to come up and got a ton of really pretty shots.<\/div>\n
\"10689628_10205023740297213_4651343312263084306_n.jpg\"<\/div>\n
As everyone will recall, we had an exceptional autumn in the Northeast this year. Here are a couple of foliage photos, the first is from the Saratoga Battle Monument, and the second is in Congress Park.<\/div>\n
\"10514721_10205098728331867_8126935778010698961_n.jpg\"<\/div>\n
\"10408074_10205145126731798_453695914934681549_n.jpg\"<\/div>\n
Ventured out one more early (and freezing) morning to capture the sunrise over Saratoga Lake. Mother Nature did not disappoint…<\/div>\n
\"DSC_0823.jpg\"<\/div>\n
\"DSC_0863.jpg\"<\/div>\n
And, finally, one of the many shots I took on Thanksgiving morning after that beautiful snowfall from the day and night before. <\/div>\n
